Description
The well-designed interface of Alarm++ makes it flexible. Each alarm can repeat at different intervals (specific weekdays, weeks, months, and weeks of the month) and repeat any number of times (once to forever or until a specific date). The latest version features animated events, passes variables to programs, has a new "tiny" event window, and avoids prompts when exiting.
Review
In spite of its austere design, this alarm-clock application mostly deserves the two pluses found in its name. Alarm 's interface is the epitome of bland and isn't easily understood at first glance. Still, most users should be able to figure out how to set an alarm within a few moments. Although the program has a decidedly narrow focus, it allows you to exercise a fine degree of control over your reminders. You can, of course, set one-time or repeating reminders, but the Advanced tab is where you can really get specific. For instance, you could set an alarm that only recurred on the third Thursday of March, May, and July. Alarm reminds you with a pop-up window containing text, but you can also have the application play your favorite audio files or launch a specific program when it's time for your alarm. You'll even find a snooze button. Busy users who need a flexible reminder application should certainly consider this one.
